Gjipe Beach in Albania one of the most beautiful secret beaches to visit in Europe

Bookended by Montenegro and Greece, Albania’s 265-mile long coastline is crammed with pretty coves and fine sand. Wizz Air (wizzair.com) has just introduced a thrice-weekly service to the Albanian capital Tirana – although the Riviera Bus takes four hours. Dhermi is an enchanting spot on the Albanian Riviera and the hard-to-get-to Gjipe Beach to the south will fulfil any castaway fantasies.
